A landlord is asking $290-a-week for a bedroom inside a bathroom in one of Australia’s trendiest suburbs.

The repurposed room, in Melbourne’s Fitzoy, comes complete with the original shower and washbasin- although the toilet has been removed to fit a bunk bed.

Advertised as an ‘independent furnished room with private bathroom’ the current tenant offered the room for sublease in a Facebook group for French nationals living in Melbourne on Tuesday.

A desk, a chest of drawers, TV and heater have also been squeezed into the compact room. 

For extra cupboard space, a makeshift clothes hanging rack has been fitted below the elevated bed-frame.  

In the corner, the ladder leading up to the single bed leans against the bathroom wall. 

A narrow additional bookshelf has been attached into the wall above the bed to fit a reading lamp.

The kitchen comes equipped with all necessary appliances, and there is small roof terrace and ‘a nice garden for sunbathing’.
